Men’s singles:

Aleksandar Vukic climbed back into the ATP top 80 after he progressed to the Estoril Challenger semifinals.

During his run, Vukic recorded his biggest victory since downing Sebastian Korda at Australian Open 2025, prevailing against world No.45 Marcos Giron.

The 29-year-old moved up four places to world No.79 and gained an important confidence boost, after snapping a 10-match losing streak.

Chris O’Connell also enjoyed a rise in the latest rankings update following his third main-draw victory on clay at a Masters 1000 tournament. O’Connell’s 6-3 6-4 win over world No.59 Camilo Ugo Carabelli helped propel him to world No.81.

Women’s singles:

Astra Sharma skyrocketed into the Australian top 10 following her first singles title in 19 months. The 29-year-old rose 47 places to be within reach of the WTA top 150.

After a fourth semifinal appearance in her last five tournaments, Sharma has climbed to her highest ranking since September 2024.
